A horror movie that poses some pretty big questions, but does it answer them? I don’t know. I’ll say this, some QUALITY frights and I’m still thinking about the movie after the credits have rolled. That doesn’t always happen. Thanks Holly for this selection

*I rented this on Vudu

**Note: This is a watch-a-long for the theatrical version of movie (1hr 44m), but I also react to the director's cut ending after the film, and I included that portion of the movie.

I hesitate to suggest this, but when you look for more horror (which it seems you don't really like) - Jacob's Ladder 1990 is a masterpiece worth considering. Its one of the scariest movies ever made, but its less violent than many films you've already reacted to. While its nightmare put on film, it also has a huge heart! Stars Tim Robbins of The Hudsucker Proxy. To reiterate: I strongly dislike Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw, and many celebrated horror flicks. Fear = Fun, for me. Cruel = Yuck, imao. I looooove Jacob's Ladder! Its a unique and beautiful work of art, using the darkest shades of paint! You'd get a lot out if it, Chris, although it'll haunt your dreams.

I like it, I swear. Well, ok except Hereditary. Although that new exorcist trailer ALMOST makes me want to watch the original, I am supremely confident I wouldn't enjoy that experience. I will look into Jacob's ladder. :)

It's interesting how horror is such a finicky thing in that what scares one person can be absolutely boring to another person depending on what type of things they are affected by. For me, this movie is much more of a psychological horror than it is about ghosts or jump scares or an 'evil room'. Most of the unease comes from the psychological tension that the room is putting him through by praying on his past traumas, like his relationship with his dad and the loss of his daughter. And it's watching the character's journey as he comes to accept what the room is, and how he deals with what it's putting him through that makes it so fascinating for me to watch... And of course John Cusack's performance nudges it over the line into excellence for me. But again, that's just me. Your mileage may vary of course. And as a film lover who also loves hearing about all the behind the scenes and technical aspects of the making of a movie, the DVD commentary was fascinating to listen to, talking about all the different things that the different stages of the room was meant to represent, all the different sets they had to destroy in different ways, and the absolute ringer that Cusack was put through during certain scenes.

That's so true about horror. I enjoy a lot of scary movies, but on occasion there is that one that hits a specific nerve and I'm done. You are right on with that bit about John Cusack. His performance sells what he's experiencing and the structure they set up. I bet the BTS of this movie is quite interesting! Definitely sounds like it deepens the story even more.
